A lawyer for Donald Trump says the former president has been informed that he’s been indicted in New York on charges involving payments made during the 2016 presidential campaign to silence claims of an extramarital sexual encounter with adult film star Stormy Daniels.
The Donald was seen pounding the table and was joined by his lawyers,family members and allies.
There’s an old legal aphorism that goes, “If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither on your side, pound the table.”

For those really really interested in the recent dust up over the media stories of Chinese intervention in Canadian elections and the implied demonization of MP Han Dong , this is a must watch for Chantal Hebert’s clear analysis of the story.(Chantal’s tearing a strip off Peter Mansbridge for his loose tongue treason utterance is also worth the watch!)

Court Painter, Press Attache A Hardon MacKay and all the unpaid studio interns are thrilled beyond words that Bing the Microsoft search engine powered by new super Artificial Intelligence has at last chosen our Court Painter as the #1 choice in it’s search thingy!
Court Painter is not making this up! AI through it’s wisdom has done the right thing and thrust our Court Painter to the top of list.
Many of the glorious images depicting the handiwork by Court Painter of past political and celebrity figure commissions are there for the whole world to see and we can be assured that at least half a dozen leading art experts and hobbyists will seek out the subject of “court painter” for research purposes within the next 5 years.
Microsoft on Tuesday added a new artificial intelligence-powered capability to its search slate: AI-generated visuals.
The new tool, powered by OpenAI’s DALL-E, will allow users to generate images using their own words, such as asking for pictures of “court painter,” the company explained in a press release.
The feature, called “Bing Image Creator,” will be available to Bing and Microsoft Edge users in preview. It will first roll out in the search engine’s “Creative Mode.” Eventually, it’ll become fully integrated into the Bing chat experience, the company added.
GW Bush former US president & presently a self-described”simple painter”, undertook a new dramatic series of paintings to mark the invasion of Iraq by the United States-led coalition 20 years ago. He is said to be challenged by this new series in contrast to his celebrity portrait & sundry collection.
Court Painter thought Artificial Intelligence was too long for viewers to read so he went with AI
Pulled from GPT-4 ‘s introduction text
We’ve created GPT-4, the latest milestone in OpenAI’s effort in scaling up deep learning. GPT-4 is a large multimodal model (accepting image and text inputs, emitting text outputs) that, while less capable than humans in many real-world scenarios, exhibits human-level performance on various professional and academic benchmarks.
Limitations
Despite its capabilities, GPT-4 has similar limitations as earlier GPT models. Most importantly, it still is not fully reliable (it “hallucinates” facts and makes reasoning errors). Great care should be taken when using language model outputs, particularly in high-stakes contexts, with the exact protocol (such as human review, grounding with additional context, or avoiding high-stakes uses altogether) matching the needs of a specific use-case.
Open AI’s new language program reveals a flaw in society’s understanding of “smart.”By Kelli María Korducki
“It’s also worth remembering that the internet is a strange and often sinister place, and its darkest crevasses contain some of the raw material that’s training GPT-4 and similar AI tools.”

As Matteo Wong detailed:
Microsoft’s original chatbot, named Tay and released in 2016, became misogynistic and racist, and was quickly discontinued. Last year, Meta’s BlenderBot AI rehashed anti-Semitic conspiracies, and soon after that, the company’s Galactica—a model intended to assist in writing scientific papers—was found to be prejudiced and prone to inventing information (Meta took it down within three days). GPT-2 displayed bias against women, queer people, and other demographic groups; GPT-3 said racist and sexist things; and ChatGPT was accused of making similarly toxic comments. OpenAI tried and failed to fix the problem each time. New Bing, which runs a version of GPT-4, has written its own share of disturbing and offensive text—teaching children ethnic slurs, promoting Nazi slogans, inventing scientific theories.
Court Painter was witness to many encounters between The Donald & Stormy (as depicted in his many pictures) however never once saw anything out of line.”I would describe their relationship as Celebrity friends…maybe even bosom buddies, that’s all!
